50 People Who’ve Hit New Levels Of Cringe And Got Posted In The ‘Cringetopia’ Online Group (New Pics)
Interview
Trust me, cringe is addictive. Once you cringe over [insert a wish-wash subject of debate] or the anti-vaxxers and get that sweet aftertaste from the sheer absurdity, you want a second hit. ‘Cause cringe is real and everyone loves it, from me, you, to 1.2 million members of the “Cringetopia” subreddit.
And there’s an infinite source of things to recoil from in laughter and embarrassment because the world, like the people in it, and like the subreddit itself, is colorful. As the community’s description says: “In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of any phony god's blessing. But because I am enlightened by my intelligence.” You may even get a philosophical drift on your way to the cringe journey.
So get ready to swim in the ocean of biased opinions, naive beliefs, less than logical statements, and anything in between. Be sure to upvote the cringiest posts down below and check out part 1 of this post.

Gatekeeping... A Language?
To find out more about this insanely popular community, Bored Panda reached out to the “Cringetopia” subreddit's moderator Fjallmadur, who was happy to share some insights.
“We started this subreddit to break away from the politics and hate that CringeAnarchy was becoming saturated with. /u/IAmMrPositive founded this subreddit and brought along me and a few other CringeAnarchy moderators who were tired of the mess that place had become,” the moderator recalled.
Fjallmadur added: “He basically made it a full-time job promoting this place in relevant subreddits and building this community from the ground up while telling people that this subreddit was going to be a place for everyone to come together, put politics aside, and just cringe at the people doing really weird and awkward stuff that they post online.” Today, it has turned into the one of the most regularly active subreddits on the entire site.

Do people not realise that “skin” is literally the wrapping paper of your body. It’s nothing more than that. The pigmentation was decided by evolution as it it light or dark depending on what side of the world your ancestors lived given hotter countries have people with darker skin so the sun can’t burn them. Likewise colder countries people have lighter skin as the sun isn’t there often

Some of their stories really make me cringe but then again, so do those by Fox. I get there's no such thing as neutral news, but for goodness sake, they don't have to be so extreme. Other countries media somehow manage it.

Someone googled "black man" and used one of the picture results without checking where it is from. Unacceptable, especially in professional setting.

They could have used stock photography. Model release forms exist to prevent lawsuits.

It doesn't even look like a stock photo which is what I'd expect them to have used

That's what I was thinking. Should get their photos from a source where it's been approved for use, not just take some random man on the internet.

This is a fake story, trying to make CNN look bad - Dr. Dipo Awojide is a senior lecturer at a Nottingham (UK) business school. Somebody made up that twitter handle and use the same picture, CNN is using in their report. Unfortunately, this is the way how they try to discredit news sources.
Den Ver 4 years ago
I wondered if this was a fake story. A quick search revealed a handful click-bait websites -- nothing legit. With a little further investigation (don't call it 'research') I found Dr. Dipo Awojide's tweet at: https://twitter.com/ogbenidipo/status/1348569484018257925?s=21 On January 11 he wrote: I made a joke last night, tweet crossed to American Twitter, 10,000 RT's and 40,000 likes. A very few people didn't get the joke. Had to delete it. I didn't like the attention". I haven't read all of the comments, but I didn't see anyone who called BS. Due to the lack of critical thinking, it seemed like time to make my 1st post.

Can the news just report news and not someone’s opinion? That would be great also someone deserved to be fired over this. It’s clear they didn’t do their research

Somewhere in a marketing class there must be a case study on CNN regarding how to mismanage a brand. In the 80s-90s they were the acknowledged leader in world news, fast news, broad & decent coverage. Now they're a laughing stock.

They can't use your picture without your permission, perhaps you can talk to them
A. Michael Uhlmann 4 years ago
Yes, they can - as long as the picture is used in an editorial context as it is, any news outlet can use a picture of any person. On the other hand, no outlet can use a picture in advertising without the written consent of the person.

Anything you post on social media belongs to them, legally. It's in the fine print no one reads. They can then sell it to whoever wants to buy it. They can put your pic, or your children's, or your baby on a billboard if they want, on a building or in swimsuit or weight loss ad. My neighbor found her 4 month old baby's picture on a Gerber product years ago. Wasn't a thing she could do. You don't won anything you post on FB, IG, Twitter and anything else. Scary.

News - whether paper or media - is a business seeking patronage. It has nothing whatsoever to do with knowledge or TRUTH. And this is about as original as saying the sky is blue

When asked what the term “Cringetopia” refers to, the moderator explained that it’s exactly what it looks like, “an amalgamation of the words 'cringe' and 'utopia.'” Moreover, “It's a place where any cringe that doesn't break our relatively lax community rules or Reddit sitewide rules is allowed.”
The moderator of the community sees cringe as inherently subjective. “What makes one person cringe, another person may think is entirely normal,” he said and continued that “My take on it is that we've all done stupid stuff that we look back on and cringe about, and looking at these people is a good way to relive that feeling, even if it's not the exact situation that we've been in ourselves.”

Fjallmadur also added that “we laugh at those folks, feel second-hand embarrassment over what we see, and share it with others, but I think that it's ultimately a way for us to empathize with the people who are being featured on this subreddit.”
And although there are “some bad apples in the bunch,” according to the moderator, “we're not about bullying or spreading hate at all; it's all just for entertainment and understanding other people at the end of the day.”
Turns out, the subreddit has a bit of a bad rep from other communities because “they feel like we're bullying people,” but Fjallmadur stressed the fact that their community is exactly the opposite. “Our community is all-inclusive, as you can see from our wonderful mod team, and I feel like we do a pretty good job as a whole to enjoy the light-hearted picking while avoiding actually hurting anyone,” they concluded.

That is f****d up id just not date that girl if shes ok with that kind of extreme. I guess maybe im weird about guns coz they are uncommon as here, not even police carry them unless special circumstances, but i dont think one pointing at someone is funny it seems so unsafe. Not to mention the dude is clearly uncomfortable/not ok with it

The Baby Would Rather Be Deaf
Annie Niemands 4 years ago
I take issue with the idea of a baby's consent here. All decisions for a baby is against their knowledge and consent. No one consents to being born. That's not problematic, that's literally how babies work. If a toddler says they don't want to change diapers ever again, letting them decide that would be abuse. Just take care of babies and don't scar them and they'll be fine. Consent is a super important topic but it really means something else when it comes to babies.

Or OGs like Hans, John L., etc if you go that far back. I still see a lot of our "popular" pandas out and about occasionally, but their comments are much less frequent. Part of it is probably just changes in their lives, but I feel like the more frequent argumentative/clickbait-y type posts have been large factors. I think in its' golden age BP was 99% pet/animal lists, comics, and art, which meant people had more opportunity to make funny and entertaining comments, but more recently it's been getting bogged down by political content and more "bad" stuff (eg more posts like "50 times people experienced evil neighbors" vs feel good stuff like "50 times strangers helped people"). Also a lot more beauty content, which isn't necessarily bad, but causes a lot of negativity for people with discussions about upsetting beauty standards. I find it kinda sad really, because our pandas are getting into more debates in the comments and we've lost a lot of the unity and good vibes :(
